Between injuries and suspensions and “more” causes for the recent WWE talent drain that we won’t go into, to avoid dredging up painful memories, the WWE has never been thinner on top-of-card talent than it is right now.

This is proven by hard how the WWE is struggling to replace the No Mercy main event in the wake of John Cena’s career-interrupting pectoral injury. The lack of top talent is so thorough, it’s as though WWE has figuratively undergone a colon cleanse.

Here’s a partial list of some of the top WWE talents that, for various and sundry reasons, are not available to step up and fill Cena’s shoes:

* Shawn Michaels
* The Big Show
* Edge
* John Morrison
* Bobby Lashley
* King Booker

That’s not even counting the numerous lesser talents who probably wouldn’t be very good choices to step in for Cena. It also points out that WWE hasn’t done very well developing undercard wrestlers into folks who are ready to step up.

So who could they turn to?

That’s next on our agenda to discuss.
